Lakers-Rockets most expensive game at Toyota this season

Share this:

The Lakers are amongst the top road draws of any team in the NBA, and Kobe and Co.’s lone stop in Houston tonight only underscores that league-wide trend.

Tickets to the game at Toyota Center are currently the most expensive of any Rockets home game this season, according to data from ticket search engine SeatGeek.

Currently on secondary markets, tickets to tonight’s game are averaging $151.57. That’s the most expensive Rockets ticket this season by almost $60, as the next most expensive game in the 2011-12 season is this Saturday’s Rockets-Mavericks game, for which tickets are selling for $92.85.

As further context, the average price for a Rockets home ticket sold on secondary markets this season is $71.38, meaning that tickets to this weekend’s game are more than two times expensive than an average home game at Toyota Center. Tonight’s Lakers game is also the third most expensive regular-season game at Toyota Center within the past three years, as the only two games to outrank this week’s in terms of average price were last year’s home matchups against the Lakers ($163) and the Heat ($157).

Tonight will be the first chance for home fans to see newly acquired center Marcus Camby, who the Rockets landed in a trade deadline deal with the Trail Blazers. Camby led the Rockets with eight rebounds off the bench in their 99-86 loss Sunday night to Phoenix.

As it currently stands, the cheapest ticket to get into the building for the Lakers game is a $71 ticket in Section 418, Row 6, while the most expensive is a $1,092 listing for seats in Section 121, Row D.
